Week 5 was highlited by some teams putting up video game numbers

I have to start with the Rappahannock Raiders who put up 72pts vs the Chargers. This is the 2nd time this year that they have touched 70pts which is an impressive thing to do. They go into their bye week 5-0 with Essex next up. Should be a good one in Tappahannock on Oct 11th and my candidate for game of the week!

Speaking of high scoring, Lancaster over Arcadia 64-62 was something I certainly didn't expect. Lancaster bounced back after a close loss to Middlesex which is good when is comes to playoff seedings in Region A.

Rye Cove continues their dominant start to the season where it is clear that they may be the Favorite to come from the Region C/D side of the bracket to the championship

Sussex loses to Greenville which certainly is a blow to their top seed chances as they have conceded that to Altavista in Region B

Buffalo Gap over Waynesboro putting them square in the drivers seat for the #2 seed in Region B

After 2 early losses, GW looks to have righted the ship and won 2 in a row. Next up is a big time match up with Galax who hasn't shown up yet this year and is coming off a bye week

Altavista wins big over WC and won't face another test the rest of their regular season but maybe Gretna.

Essex with the forfeit win over KQ and with Charles City next up should be another game over in the 1st qtr. They def need to change up their schedule when it comes this upcoming cycle.

Armstrong hanging 90 on Manassas Park.

Amherst not only beating Glass, but shutting them out.

Heritage playing LCA so close.

The kids from Tappahannock have figured out something. 5-0 Rappahannock has outscored their five opponents 270-51. But, the sledding gets tougher this week. They take a little bus ride across the river to play, by far their toughest opponent so far, Essex.

Abingdon absorbing their first loss, and a shut out at that, from the 1 win “Tennessee HS” in Bristol.

Grandy laying 77 on Booker T. Wow, up until last year, Grandy struggled to win one game a season most years.

And even though this outcome is not in the least surprising, Maury beat Lake Taylor 62-0. My, my, the times have changed.

I took note that a dozen or more games have been moved to Monday. And sadly, a couple of them may not be able to be played because of the tragedy that has occurred in SWV. My prayers for those folks.

I've watched both CC and Central live a couple times. I haven't seen Strasburg play. Very interested in the KW Central game this coming Friday. Common opponent for all 3 schools. KW isn't your typical winless team. Having said that I think the district comes down to the CC Strasburg game. Central is okay and probably should have beaten Riverheads. I was at that game. But I don't think their their trenches can hold up. I know Strasburg has Coates back and the kid can fly. What are ppls opinion on these 3 schools?

We had three trips inside the Alleghany 10 but couldn't score. Not a bad performance by Radford against an Alleghany team that was the best team we've played this season. That's a solid team. Alleghany left lots of points on the board as well settling for field goals deep inside Radford territory. Our team is getting better. The Cougars we played last year were tough, but the team they have this year is legit. Alleghany easily handled a good Fort Defiance team which upended Riverheads.

To you guys in the brain trust. What is your take on the catch/no catch at the end of the game?

1 point per pick, GOTW worth 2. Picks are due by Friday @ 7pm. If games are Thursday, it is your responsibility to pick game b4 game time. If games are earlier than Thursday the game will not count. No score predictions needed.

Saw this on a parents FB post.

As reported on the C6 board- only playing district games.

Essex has been pretty dominant in Region A for awhile now so I'm wondering is there a reason they haven't adapted to the streaming of their games? you have multiple platforms nowadays with Hudl Fan and NFHS Network but I'm not able to find any of their games unless they play a team on the road with it. From what I'm told their head coach is the AD so it baffles me that they haven't adopted this technology especially since they just upgraded their football facilities. Anyone have any insight into this?

I see they are only 2-2. Were the two losses expected? I know they had some players back on offense especially.

have lost a great leader and influencer of young people. Coach Steve Oliver passed away this morning. He was an assistant football coach for PH and Salem with Coach White. Along with football, he was a wrestling coach, and of course, a teacher. He loved to get the most out of his players and students, but he did it in a way that showed his love for them. I was fortunate enough to get to know him later in life and to call him my friend. He's not suffering anymore and I can see his big smile even now. My avatar is a picture of him from a Salem baseball game that we got to go enjoy together last spring. Prayers for his loving helpmate Rhonda, and for the Salem and PH communities.

I guess defense was optional in this game. Lol

I feel for you all. That was a horrible reverse at the end. ACC just wants Miami undefeated to go to the CFP. No Indisputable evidence at ALL to overturn that call.

I hope everyone stays safe throughout the night, tommorow, and the weekend with the weather!
